Born September 1, 1904, Portland, Maine: South Portland High School, '21: Entre Nous, 1: Portland Club, 1, 2, 3, 4: Secre- tary-Treasurer, 3: Student Government Ju- diciary Board, 2: Alethea, 2, 3,: Y.

W. cabinet meeting, a pile of Bib. Lit. papers to correct and a speech or two on her mind, Verdis still retains her calm, cheerful disposition. That laugh which you have heard above and between the con- stant chatter in Rand Hall dining room belongs to Vardis, too. A happy heart, con- scientious work and splendid efficiency are characteristics that make her an ideal Y. W. president. KATHERINE COLBY BURKE, A.B. MEREDITH FREDERICK BURRILL, A.B. Augusta, Maine Pete For he who is honest is noble Whatever his fortune or birth. Born, December 23, 1902, Houlton, Maine: Brewer High School, 1920: College Choir 2, 3, 4: Librarian 3: Track 1, 2, 3, 4: Glce Club 2, 3: French Club 1: Orphic Society 3: Personal Editor Mirror. Here's a man of many talents, an athlete, a singer and above all a prominent graduate co-educator. Harry Rowe has filed a protest against Pete because it has cost the college so much putting in new wires on the telephone. You see, Pete has kept the wires so hot between here and Woodsvillc, that they have burned out several times. Pete also has been known to burn the boards and has contributed to our successful relay teams. Kay Hiram, Maine. 'Tis the mind that makes the body rich. Born October 17, 1903, NVorcester, Mass.: Northfield Seminary: Y. W. C.

K's interests and activities are many, you can see. She is not a scholar only, scholarly though she be, but a keen participant in athletics and sports. Did anybody ever see the '25 goal-keeper fail to stop that hockey ball? Her nature is that of the thoroughbred, riding on her nerve. and as thoroughly dependable. A speech, left to K is sure of the proper touch- wit, sense, and a certainty of success.

GRACE WINN BRACKETT, A.B. Berwick, Maine She smiled-and a light was on her face, A clear, cool kindlinessf' Born August 4, 1902, Berwick, Maine: Su!- livan High School 1920: Tilton Seminary 1921: Entre Nous: Y. W. C. A. 1, 2, 3, 4: Girls' Glee Club 3, 4, Manager 4: Orphi-: Society 3, 4: College Choir 3, 4: Macfarlane Club 4: Seniority 4: Outing Club 1, 2, 3, 4: Hockey 3, 4: Hiking 1, 3: Volleyball 2nd 3: Gym Meet 1, 2, 3: Basketball 2nd 3: Soccer 1, 2, 3: Captain 2: Athletic Board: Track Manager 4: Numerals We wonder we never called her Pollyanna, she has been as incessantly joyous and un- quenchable: a dear, merry little tomboy, with a conscience that kept her dated up practi- cally every Wednesday night freshman year. With us she has grown up a little-just enough. She smiles still, and laughs, and sings, and plays hard-but often she falls serious, and thinks big thoughts until they shine out in her eyes, to us, everyone, her friend. ELSIE FURBUSH BRICKETT, A.B. MARY NUTTER BROCK, A.B. Waterboro, Maine The meeting points the sacred hair dissever From the fair head-forever, and forever. 'Born July 20, 1903, Waterboro, Maine: Al- fred High School 1920: Hiking 1, 2, 3, -1: Soccer 2nd 2, 3: Hockey 2nd 3, 4: Volleyball Znd 3, 4: Basketball 2nd 3: Numerals: Entre Nous: Y. W. C. A.: Outing Club: Cercle Francais: Deutscher Verein. We didn't think Mary would really ever do it: you see. there are families-and others- to be considered. Do they like your hair bobbed in Waterboro, Mary? We do, and we hope you'll never let it grow again, even when you are a dignified French Teacher. Mary has kept training rules faithfully in every season of the year, and won her re- ward in athletic honors. She takes her studies seriously, and loves a joke as well. Moreover, she has lived on first floor for three years: what wild tales could she not tell of midnight callers and the cards they leave! Brix Scranton, Penna. With gentle, yet prevailing force Intent upon her destined course. Born October 2, 1903, New Bedford, Mass.: Central High School, 1921: Phil-Hellenic 2, 3, 4: Cercle Francais 1, 2, 3: Student Board 1, 2, 3, 4: Alethea 2, 3: Seniority 4: Y. W. C, A.

Elsie!-the tea-wagon, the delicate tea-set, the bright napkins. the artsquare, the pretty formality of teas and ten o'clock creamed chicken and bridge parties. Elsie !-typewritten notebooks, fragrant and snowy-topped dresser, sharply creased knickers, a silk tie matching a leather belt, a stiff. shining collar just from the laundry. Elsie !-never busy, always ready. Elsiel-primarily, continually, exquisitely nice.

DIANE CARMEN CAILLER, A.B. Lewiston, Maine Memory lives in music's breath. Born Lewiston. Maine, June 19. 1903: Jor- dan Hixzh 1921: Entre Nous: Outing: Club 1, 2, 3. 4: Y. W. C. A. 1, 2, 3, 4: Cercle Francais 2, 3, -1, Vice-President 4: French Plays 2.3,-1. Here is a musician,-not only does she play the piano. but she is also a violinist of no mean ability. She plays as she smiles. with gentle melody and quizzical tenderness and a hint of mystery. Diane ripples :JH French like lightning. but makes up for her speed in this by never hurrying: about anything else. It isn't necessary, is it, Diane?-some few of us can reach the goal without undue haste. AUGUSTUS TALLMAN CANTY. A.B. East Boston, Mass. ..Red,. ..GuS.. He talked on forever and you wished him to talk on for ever. Born July 11, 1903, East Boston, Massa- chusetts: East Boston High School, 1920: Baseball 1: Football Varsity 1, 2. 4: Foot- ball Squad 3: Class Hockey 1: Varsity Club 1, 2, 3, 4: Phil-Hellenic 3, 4: Politics 3, 42 Pres. 11. The fact that Gus can play football has followed him even into the solemnity of Mony's English Class, where one of the standard questions has been: Who kicked the football? The invariable answer is Gus Canty. Having attained that distinc- tion he is permitted a peaceful siesta during the recitation until Mony, becoming tired of solemn faces questions him regarding fair Portia. or some other fair one-and behold what a lustre shines on the face of Gus Canty. Gus has at all times shown good sportsmanship and has won no mean repu- tation for scholarship. Keep it up, Gus. ERWIN DAIN CANHAM, A.B. Turn him to any cause of policy, The Gordian knot of it he will unloose. Erwin Auburn, Maine Born Feb. 13, 1904, Auburn, Maine. Edward Little High School 1921: Debating Council 2, 3, 4: Secretary 3: President 4: Varsity Debater 2, 3, 4: Delta Sigma Rho 2, 3, 4: Freshman Prize Speaking Winner: Sophomore Prize Speaking: Junior Exhibition, winner: Winner Freshman Prize Debating: Sophomore Prize Debating: Editor-in-chief of Bates Student, Bates Garnet.

Honor Student, Phi Beta Kappa. Erwin has done and been so much that it is hard to mention any activity of his without slighting the others. Any one would till a large part of this book. He has had a corner on all the speaking prizes and has well deserved them, too. In debating there has never been any one who has done more for the honor of Bates than Erwin-from-across-the-river. In the midst of all your activity we are glad to see, Erwin. that you have in no way neglected your co-education. 30
